I was always a QOTSA fan. I had all their albums, but never really listened to them as much as other bands until "Like Clockwork" came out, and I've been a huge fan since. That album is a pure masterpiece. Simply genius. Taste is subjective, but I think it's S-tier ... no doubt.

Don't forget about the deeper cuts! Turnin' On The Screw is a fantastic opener that sets the tone of the record perfectly: dirty, sludgy, industrial-sounding. The riff is also sick (sick sick). I'm Designer is super fun and hilarious, very memorable track. Misfit Love is one of the best Queens songs period - it takes the industrial and robotic sound even further and creates a vivid image in your brain, as if you're really in a dirty factory. Battery Acid is a fking banger - super catchy riff and very bouncy. The syncopated vocals on the verses make it stand out, even if it takes some time to get used to. Finally, River In The Road is the biggest thrill ride Queens have ever had since A Song For The Deaf - you really feel as if something is chasing you. Mark Lanegan adds a lot to the song too. Dunno why, but the slower cuts don't hit me so hard as songs like In The Fade, Mosquito Song (their best song IMO), I Never Came and Running Joke do. To think that I hated the album when I first heard it. Now I think it might be one of my favourites, even though some of the other records are better constructed and better written.

Lanegan doesnt have a bad QOTSA song as far as im concerned and also his vocals on god is in the radio plus the last solo make the song bloody perfect. Song for the deaf imo is the song that really shows qotsa's versatility. Josh homme's soft voice and Mark lanegan's growling voice. Even though im not fan of screaming and metal in general, Nicks screaming towards the end might just be the best part on this song, it makes the song so much better. Anyway i dont even know why im wrting this when my brain is literally like qotsa good, rest bad

I remember how happy I was when I first heard like clockwork. I just got off of to pimp a butterfly, and after listening to a great rap album like that it started to drive into my head how far rock has fallen and if I'll ever hear anything I really love again. THEN BAM, almost everything about fairweather friends felt perfect, the drums, piano, guitar, vocals. great album!

I know. Most the time I’ll just rip one of the other albums for normal days but sometimes you just wake up feeling off and all of a sudden Era Vulgaris fits that mood

A) there's no QOTSA record below B tier B) it would've been interesting to have your thoughts on Mark Ronson's input on "Villains", since to me, the blend between Ronson's blueprint and QOTSA's sound is way more balanced than I thought it would be (especially after having a first listen to "the way you used to do" before the album was released)

Era Vulgaris was my first big introduction to Queens of the Stone Age, I'll forever love that record.

Totally agree. Clock has everything that ever made them great turned up to 11. Every single aspect of the band that made them stand out, eerie production that varies very well between tracks (compare the "vintage" I sat by the ocean, the shrill abrasive kalopsia and the poppy hard hitting beat with guitar syncopated around it in smooth sailing. Very different styles but still part of a cohesive balanced unit), classic zero fucks Homme lyrics, sexy Homme delivery, punching riffs, slide guitar, piercing solos, nihilistic yet hopeful quiet moments (if that "I'm alive, hooray" buildup in Vampyre and the solo after don't hit you you're hollow) and masterful instrumentation. It's exactly the right length and has no bad tracks. That dynamic flow to a climax in I Appear Missing with the guitars perfectly accompanying the vocals, that drum stampede into breakdown into bridge and that soaring solo that fades out into passionate lyrics at the end holy shit. Songs for the Deaf is a 10, but so is LC.

@BulletDrummer

I think the songs are fine. It's mainly the production and mixing, where I agree with Anthony on it sounding flat, that hold it back. Everything sounds like it's capped at a certain volume, even in the heavier moments, which takes away any life or bounce the song could have had. It's why a track like Feet Don't Fail Me loses a little bit of it's appeal after the first couple of listens. That groove doesn't blow me away due to a flat low end in the mix, whereas a track like Millionaire from SFTD doesn't have that problem, meaning that when it kicks in, it's always going to get me going. Having that low end explosion really serves it well. I really enjoy Feet Don't Fail Me, but the mix just takes that edge off of it. Kinda sums up the album, really.

The balance between the dynamics of their voices (Hommes smooth crooning and falsetto, Oliveri's ragged and manic screaming, Lanegan's textured and world-weary rasp) is part of what make that album such an exciting listen!
